In creating this burger, I wanted to take the flavorful meat of the ribeye and pair it with the flavors that a awesome steak deserves! I did not attempt to cover the flavor of the ground ribeye by adding any more ingredients than salt and pepper.The Cabernet Sauvignon was the best choice for the wine reduction sauce. The meat was so tender and even in this economy you can find ribeyes on sale under $6.00 per pound.
